Abstract

L'invention concerne un ensemble touches multifonctions amélioré (Figure 2). L'ensemble touches multifonctions comporte un substrat de carte à circuit imprimé (28) présentant un alignement de commutateurs pastilles en couronne (26) monté sur ce substrat. Un élément bouton (22) fixé au substrat est destiné à être utilisé comme dispositif d'entrée de données pour un dispositif électronique. Cet élément bouton comporte une zone centrale (48) et une surface périphérique profilée (30) servant de pluralité de zones de touches (32-46) de périmètre. Le contour de la surface périphérique fournit à l'utilisateur une rétroaction tactile dans la détermination de l'emplacement des différentes zones de touches. L'élément bouton comporte en outre une pluralité de boutons interrupteurs (54-68, 72) s'étendant à partir de sa surface inférieure (70). Chaque bouton interrupteur correspond à une zone de touche spécifique et peut actionner un commutateur pastille (154, 156) de la couronne pour cette zone de touche spécifique. L'ensemble peut comporter une base (76) pourvue d'une pluralité de tiges (90). La base peut être montée sur le substrat ou sur un boîtier (2) et elle permet à l'élément bouton, tout en le soutenant, de pivoter autour d'un bouton interrupteur (72) situé sur sa surface inférieure. La base peut également comporter des renfoncements (110) sur ses tiges et une partie d'emboîtement centrale (88) en relief pour aménager un dégagement entre la base et l'alignement des commutateurs pastilles en couronne.
